Advice for New BTS Owner

Hi All,
I am new to this forum. I do not have a BTS yet, but would love to get one in the near future. Right now I am researching and "doing my homework" to ensure a happy, healthy life for a BTS. I currently have 4 Redfoot tortoises which are all large enough to live outside now. I am looking into getting a BTS to have in my classroom. I teach 4th grade. I would bring him/her home during holiday, summers, and long weekends. My plan is to have a tank set up at school and a separate tank set up at home. Like I said I am researching and would love to have advice and to have some experienced "go to" people that I could refer to for questions.

There is a whole series of videos at ReptileMountain.tv on You Tube that I think you will find valuable. I hope this helps.

Welcome to the forum and that sounds nice for your kids at school. Have you narrowed down your type of skink you are interested in? Some are more friendly than others. Also each skink as its own personality. Some love to be held and interacted with and others not so much. I highly recommend getting one from a good breeder on our forum. We all are here to help, so if you have any specific questions, just let us know.
